I used to write a four-page, single-spaced, 10-point Garamond (because it’s narrower than Times New Roman so I could squeeze in more words) Christmas letter and mail it to 300+ of my closest friends and relatives

I also used to spend November through January under a crushing blanket of self-imposed stress. And crippled by paper cuts and the costs of printing and stamps.

Now I pace myself by blathering daily on social media instead. Merry Christmas to me!
